Maybe they could make a theme pack or something for Fedora users to get the Korora style and setup on Fedora.
I don't know what their goals were, as I'm not too familiar with the project, but why didn't they just choose to do this from the start?
Edit: I guess I could not be lazy and read their "about" page myself looks like they wanted to add packages to make the software more user-friendly "out of the box." Codecs, media players, third-party repos, etc.
Right basically things that Fedora will never do natively because of licensing.

Has everybody else already patched their Drupal setups?
Well, a new customer we needed to patch it
Hopefully it has been patched before they got pwned.
Yeah hopefully .

@dafyre said in HP Announces Intel Core i7 Powered Chromebook Tablet:
Do you really need that kind of horsepower in a Chromebook? I'm not knocking the amount of RAM... but an i7 is a bit overkill, isn't it? -- Unless you're running hefty Android apps or something.
Maybe this type of device will encourage the development of heftier apps for chrome os... Video/audio stuff, graphics, etc. I'd run Reaper on a Chromebook like this to record multitrack audio... Assuming the audio hardware drivers existed.

@mlnews said in CloudFlare Launches Spectrum DDoS for All Traffic Types for Enterprise Customers:
CF's new Spectrum DDoS protection service for their top tier customers aims to protect against the "spectrum" of Internet attacks including all ports and protocols, not just web ones as before.
Read the title again slowly...
It sounds like CloudFlare is launching a DDoS. Not criticizing, just finding it funny.

I've been telling people this sort of thing is what to expect for the future of computing solutions for some years now.
Not sure this is the device that will make it catch on but we are ever closer to it being a truly useful option.

Here is the current Mac Pro, the top of the line system: https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/
Honestly, it's not impressive. This is not "power" hardware by any stretch. The price is high, but the gear in it is lackluster. They've not released a "power" product since 2013, what they released then was this which is pretty hampered, and they don't plan to update it until 2019 at the earliest.
It's not hard at all to see how an ARM-based system might compete really, really well here. Apple's "power user" hardware isn't on par with power users from the rest of the industry as it stands today and their refresh cycles are absurd so that anyone in their "power users club" has to already feel totally abandoned under the current model of things.

Facial recognition anyone?
@JaredBusch Including facial recognition, but not really limited to that. @scottalanmiller expressed my thought in a very clear and laconic manner:

It's used for data harvesting.

Of course, this directly affects all ISPs, but I'm also curious to see if this will also affect cell phone carriers worldwide. Will they also go bankrupt in time or will they have to adapt to stay relevant? Would cell phines even be able to communicate? Currently no, but in the near future?
It looks like it's being pitched as a competitor to cellular devices.
That'll take a lot of work to get mobile devices able to talk to it. If they can get that cheap and reliable, it'll be the killer thing.
